The equation of Compton Effect is given by
Compton wavelength = h m e c
Where,
Planck's constant h = 6.63 × 10 34   J s
Mass of electron m e = 9.11 × 10 31   k g
Velocity of light c = 3 × 10 8   m / s
Therefore,
Compton wavelength = 6.63 × 10 34   J s 9.11 × 10 31   k g × 3 × 10 8   m / s = 4.85 × 10 12   m
Hence, the greatest change in wavelength that can occur is = 4.85 × 10 12   m
